Once asked to pick word that best summed up #BlairMayne and chose this, to much confusion to some not familiar with #UlsterScots dialect & vocabulary. ‘Thran’ is much more than just stubborn, it’s also determined, obstinate. Interested to hear opinions

Fantastic week had by the wee lad at Belfast TradFest.
Topped off with a finale concert at Belfast Cathedral where the boy and his class opened proceedings by playing up the aisle.
Thanks again to Belfast TradFest for the opportunity. #belfastTradFest #UlsterScots Ulster-Scots Agency
